Open the catalog to page 2Mr. Grcic, was the development of the Bell Chair a special project for you? KG: Yes, it was special, because it turned into so much more than just designing a chair. Can you give us an example? KG: We realized that there was an opportunity and need to address certain issues surrounding the project. The fact that we were developing a chair in plastic raised fundamental questions as to why… and how. While designing the chair, we started looking into the use of recycled plastics.

Open the catalog to page 5High Noon Bell Chair is available in three colours – Sunrise, High Noon and Midnight. It is produced with recycled polypropylene, which is obtained from the waste generated by Magis’ own furniture production and from the local car industry. The patented material excludes almost all “virgin or new” materials and can be 100% recycled again after use. This way, Bell Chair forms an almost closed material c
Open the catalog to page 6The chair weighs just 2.7 kilograms, making it at least one and a half kilos lighter than average plastic chairs. This fact is testament to the use of less material and causes less energy consumption during production. The key to this saving lies in its ingenious shell shape of the chair. It’s bulbous geometry is not only structurally strong, it also makes the chair extraordinarily comfortable and visually appealing.
Open the catalog to page 7Made in the most responsible way, the Bell Chair production methods also abstain from wasteful energy practices, mostly by streamlining the process in a way that it takes miniscule time to manufacture the chair.
Open the catalog to page 8Small Logistical The responsibility of the design does not end with the product itself. Magis developed a logistics concept for Bell Chair to save additional resources. This entails a specially-designed reusable delivery pallet, which can stack up to 24 chairs. As a result, less packaging material is used, and the vertical stack reduces the footprint during transportation. At the same time the pallet doubles up as store display for retail partners and is made from the same recycled plastic as the chair.
Open the catalog to page 10Bell Chair is made with versatility in mind and can be used indoors, outdoors, for commercial use, events, and many other settings. It is meant to be used in creative, unconventional and innovative ways.
